Excellent
The climb of Kilimanjaro with Kilimanjaro Wikings was an incredible experience. The crew—from the porters, to the waiter, to the guides—was professional, organized, and available for every one of our needs.
The guides were very humane and professional in sharing both the difficult moments and the joyful ones. They provided great human and logistical support for any situation or problem. Conrad and Prosper were essential in helping us reach the summit, and we will be grateful to them for the rest of our lives.
The food was very good and the transportation was excellent.

An awesome adventure with Meru Slopes! Where dreams come true....
Our dream vacation really began when Victor, our (city) guide to/from the airport, picked us up. He’s an incredibly enthusiastic young man, who was eager to teach us a little Swahili, talk to us about his country, and who did an excellent job navigating us through/around some intense traffic due to the Prime Minister being in town. And when the President was in town at the end of our trip, he again did a masterful job of avoiding delays. What an exceptionally happy and engaging person!
Our guide throughout our safari, Douglas, did an excellent job. It was clear his goal was to make all our dreams for this vacation a reality! He managed to exceed our dreams. His depth of experience was clear from day one. Each time we encountered an animal, he somehow managed to get us positioned front and center. He educated us not just on the animals but on his country and the people. We saw every animal, except the elusive leopard. We even saw both black and white rhinos! We went in late February so we did experience a day of the rainy season, with washed out bridges and flooded roads. Yet, this didn’t deter Douglas at all. We still went out and saw all sorts of animals and beautiful lands. And of course, with the time of year, we were gifted with sightings of all the newborn animals as well.
I highly recommend Meru Slopes! When local business people asked which company we were with they all had great things to say about Meru Slopes. So, if you want to be treated wonderfully, and have an experience of your life, check out Meru Slopes. We did the 8 day- Wildebeest Migration option and it was pretty darned perfect! Well worth the investment!!

Highly Recommended – Jocky Tours and Francis
I went on a 7-day (6-night) safari in Kenya with Jocky Tours in March 2026 together with my daughter, and it was an amazing experience. At 69 years old, I wasn’t sure how comfortable a safari would be for me, but everything was very well organized and easy to enjoy.
We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha/Crescent Island, and Amboseli National Parks. We stayed in hotels rather than tents, which was a great choice for us. The accommodations were very comfortable, the food was excellent, and the staff everywhere were friendly and attentive.
Our guide and driver, Francis, was exceptional. From the start we felt we were in very capable and safe hands. He organized everything perfectly and even arranged the seating in the vehicle so I wouldn’t have to climb to the back, which made the trip much more comfortable for me. He ensured we had fresh, delicious meals, and his patience and skill meant we could spot and photograph wildlife at the best moments. Francis’s knowledge of the parks was incredible—he even drove for hours to help us find three big male lions, and he located real rhinos after seeing other guides misidentify them.
During the safari, we saw an amazing number of animals, including all of the Big Five, often very close to the vehicle. We also visited a Maasai village, did a guided walk near the Mara River, and went to Crescent Island, where you can walk among giraffes.
The vehicle was always clean and comfortable, and the lodges and camps were top-notch. Even with changes to the schedule due to unforeseen events, Jocky Tours was flexible and accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free.
Even at my age, this safari was comfortable, exciting, and truly unforgettable. I would highly recommend Jocky Tours and Francis -they made this trip a perfect adventure and an experience we will always remember.

Incredible Trip
We chose Martin as our driver because, during our initial communication over WhatsApp, he came across as extremely knowledgeable and was excellent at answering all of our questions. I’m happy to say that our first impressions were absolutely correct.
Martin was an incredible driver who took great care of us throughout the seven days we spent together. He communicated clearly and consistently throughout the trip, helped us manage logistics, and made the entire journey feel seamless and stress-free.
Martin was incredibly informative, answering all the questions we had, from questions about the wildlife we saw to the history of the country. He even accompanied us on game drives and was often more informative than some of the guides we met. Along the way, he recommended fantastic places to stop and visit, which made the experience even more special.
The car was extremely comfortable and spacious, which made long drives very enjoyable. Martin was also incredibly friendly and professional, and we always felt completely safe travelling with him.
Overall, we couldn’t have asked for a better driver or guide for our trip, and we would highly recommend Martin to anyone visiting Uganda.

AMAZING!!
Our safari in Tanzania was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! From the moment we arrived, everything was well organized and our guide Richard was amazing, incredibly knowledgeable and friendly. Seeing wildlife up close in places like the Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater was absolutely breathtaking.
We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, wildebeests and even a cheetah amen here new born cubs in the wild. Richard was amazing at spotting animals and explaining their behavior, which made the experience even more special.
The lodges and camps were comfortable, the food was great, and waking up to the sounds of nature every morning was unforgettable. The landscapes were stunning, and every day felt like a new adventure.
If you’re considering a safari in Tanzania, I highly recommend it. It’s an incredible way to experience nature and wildlife in one of the most beautiful places on earth.

Friendly, responsive, and experienced—truly dedicated to creating an unforgettable safari
My mum and I went on a 6-night (7-day) safari with Jocky Tours in March 2026, and it turned out to be an unforgettable experience.
From the beginning, the booking process was handled very professionally. Communication was quick and efficient, and it was easy to adjust the safari according to our wishes. One thing we really appreciated was the flexibility regarding accommodations—you can choose your own hotels or tents, and people traveling in the same vehicle may stay in different places depending on their preferences. Jocky Tours even helped us with other arrangements in Kenya, such as booking a train ticket. Compared with other quotes we received, Jocky Tours was also the most affordable option, even though we stayed in comfortable hotels rather than budget accommodation.
When we arrived at Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, we were a little nervous. It was our first trip to Africa, and we didn’t quite know what to expect. On top of that, our flight was delayed and we arrived a day later than planned. However, this was no problem at all for Jocky Tours. They even responded to my messages at 4 a.m. and quickly reorganized our airport pick-up.
After meeting our guide, Francis, we immediately felt that we were in very capable and trustworthy hands. We were impressed with how well he organized each safari day. He always explained what was planned and asked if we would like to change anything. Francis took care of everything—from preparing lunch packs to checking us into the hotels—and was clearly dedicated to making our safari an experience of a lifetime.
Everything during the safari was exactly as described in the itinerary—or even better. We made a few small adjustments with the group during the trip, and everything was always discussed openly and arranged without any issues.
Since I was traveling with my 69-year-old mother, we decided not to stay in tents. That turned out to be a great choice. The hotels, food, and staff were all of a very high standard, comparable to what we are used to in Europe. Francis was also very thoughtful and helped rearrange the seating in the safari vehicle, so my mum wouldn’t have to climb to the back and we could sit together. This made the whole week much more comfortable for us.
During the safari we saw an incredible number of animals. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five more than once, as well as many other species—often very close to the vehicle. Despite this, we always felt completely safe. This would not have been possible without such a skilled and experienced guide. Francis has over 15 years of experience, and it clearly shows. He knows exactly where to go and is both a fast and very safe driver.
In addition to the game drives, we also enjoyed a few other activities, including visiting a Maasai village, a guided walk near the Mara River, and Crescent Island, which we can absolutely recommend—you can walk among giraffes and other animals there. These experiences were wonderful additions to the safari and gave us the opportunity to learn a little more about Kenyan culture and daily life. We could always ask Francis questions, and he was happy to share his knowledge not only about the animals but also about Kenya and its people.
We can give Jocky Tours and Francis our warmest recommendation. They truly do an outstanding job, and with them you can be sure to have an unforgettable safari experience. If we ever return to Kenya, we will definitely ask for Francis as our guide again.

We found the tour operators to be friendly, knowledgeable and professional.
African tours on a whole are expensive and in our case booked from halfway around the world. I kept waiting for an unpleasant surprise that did not happen. The tour went as advertised and exceeded our expectations in every way. The driver/guide was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful. We felt that we had made a true friend at the end of our time together. All of our accommodations were excellent with the wait staff that could not do enough to please us. At the end of our tour, we felt that we had received an exceptional experience at a value price. We highly recommend Crimson Brook Safaris.
